Busy

The last month have been crazily busy. Preparation for my trip to Uruguay is taking time that I think that I need for everything else, it is really just the busy time of the year for me with planting my field and getting ready for bees this spring it has been hard to find time to do much of anything else. So I have made room by sleeping a lot less and working more. As I try to maneuver my schedule into something that I am able to do it is tempting to not take as much time out for God, this is really telling of my priorities in my life. if when things are hard and I have no time to spare if I shorten my time with God which is my life line then what am I really living for?
He must increase and I must decrease.

Not my life

It seems so easy for me to forget. I forget almost anything that I need to remember, from my keys, my cell phone, I think that even though my head is attached I forget it at times. One thing that I seem to have forgotten lately is who I am living for. O not that I have strayed completely from Christ, or that I have stopped listening to His voice, and left His path. But that I have forgotten that it is not my life. it is not what I want, its not in my time, not my goals and ambitions, no its not about me at all. God Has led my into places and things that I really enjoy and desired, and that seems make it so much easier to forget that He is the boss and try to take this train down my own track. Matt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. What a trade my life that is miserable for His life of joy,and peace. My life of worry and regret for His life. Matt 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Not My will but thine be done

Spring!

The sound of a rushing river full or maybe overflowing, the warmth of the spring sun, the song of the red wing black bird, and the flash of the robin's bronze chest. It fills my heart with the new hope of a new season. Cold snow still lies in some valley's, the world is brown and still looks dead, but if you look close you might just see the tip top of the tulips pushing their way through the ground, the bud's on on the maples swelling with sap, or you might hear the cry of a new born calf. The snow is melting and, the winter is just about behind us.

Spring Is Coming!

All Things Beautiful

I am not sure why I am so impatient. I want to be on to the next part of my life and I wonder "God why don't you hurry up". On one hand I can't stand sitting still and yet when I look back I think that life is passing me by! It is going so fast it seems that just yesterday I was graduating highschool. (and that was nine years ago) Where did those years go?

And at the same time I think I wish I was married and had some kids already.

I forget so easily that God has made all things beautiful in ITS TIME!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
(from New International Version)

Sometimes I need to sit back and enjoy the time God has giving me in this season of life. Wether that is the busy work schedule or the time by myself at home.

Caleb enjoy this season of life because you will never come back to it.

Savor every minute of beauty in this time!

Things that move

I bought a tractor and my brother Amos came to help for the day what an adventure!

I Repent

This song from Steve Green really hit home the other day, it seems that so many times I forget to have true sorrow and repentance over my sin. Or maybe I just don't take the time in my day to listen to God and let him search my soul. I heard a story last week about an old vary godly pastor, and this women comes to him and tells him that she really enjoys being around him so much because of the saintly attitude that he has. The man looks deep into her eyes and told her in complete seriousness "If you could look into my soul you would spit in my face" I forget to take that serious look into my soul and when I do it still is frightening to see how far from God's perfection that I am. A month or two ago I heard someone talking about this and he was saying that no matter what the situation you are in "You can always repent" if you know you are in the right search your heart you can always repent of wrong attitude or the wrong motive. another thing about repentance is that it is between you and God he is the one that you have wronged he is the one that in the end you need to be forgiven by. David Cried to God after he had committed adultery then killed the womans husband that "against You and You only have I sinned" the acts of sin may be committed against others but in the end it is against God that we sin. So yes I do repent making no excuses I repent there is no one else I repent! O God my sins are ever before me. take away my sin and make me pure in your sight.

I REPENT

It's been awhile

It has been quite awhile since I last wrote. There has been so much that happened, and I have been so vary busy. God blessed me deer hunting this year I worked opening weekend so I didn't get to hunt until Sunday night. I got the two little doe Sunday night. they had been pulling my strawberry plants up this fall so I was vary glad to get rid of them, (and they taste really good)


The nice buck I got when I went up north and hunted with the Family the day before thanksgiving.

(Don't let the power get to your head!)

Last weekend I went up to Green bay to help my sister take down her garage so that we can put up a two stall one.
And I had some time to do some baking. I sure do love fresh bread(Not quite as much as my brother Josh).

Well now that you have an update. I plan to post a few more before Christmas, so stay tuned!
